Army announces March suicide numbers

Not a shock at all for anyone reading this blog over the years. How many times have they said they have a new program to take care of them only to end up discovering what they have been doing is more of the same that has not worked. Hell they even tried to order them a while ago to not kill themselves but that didn't work either. Nothing will work until they finally figure out what we know. They don't even know why it strikes some but not others. We do but they wouldn't listen to us because we are not a defense contractor or some Ph.D with a grant. Gee I really hate being right when they are still ending up taking their own lives. I rather be wrong and have them still here.

As many as 13 active-duty soldiers killed themselves in March, the Army announced April 14.

One of the deaths has been confirmed to be a suicide, while the others are still under investigation.

The total for March was one fewer than February. The Army continues to struggle to combat suicide among soldiers.

Among Army National Guard and Army Reserve soldiers who were not on active duty at the time of their deaths, there were eight suspected suicides. All eight remain under investigation.

The same number of suspected suicides among this population of soldiers was reported in February.

Officials have said about 90 percent of such investigations are determined to be suicide.

The Army has seen its suicide numbers increase in the last five years.
